ack! acne!
yep, right on the middle of my chin. it hurts and looks absolutely horrid. i’ve considered pinching it, but it hurts! and then i remembered i still have a tube of tretinoin somewhere in the bag of rubbles i call my cosmetic case. ah, there. expiration: june 2003.
hm, should i still? and then i remembered reading about accutane side effects just a few days ago. hm, better not then. it looks so unpretty, but it’s not like it makes a whole lot of difference, haha!
what do YOU do with acne, anyway?

I didn’t really have acne problems during my teen years and now I’m breaking it out like there’s no tomorrow. Sigh. Been using benzoyl peroxide. Not working as fast as I’d hope.

i believe in the power of water. i do get them every now and then. and when i do, i wash my face (no soap or whatever cleansing stuff) with cold water. so far, for the past 20 years, it worked well. why don’t you ask your sis? surely she’d have te BEST answers haha

i damp the pimple with a cotton wet with astringent. my face used to be clear from acne but now i get MAJOR outbreaks, too. sigh.

Hay naku Ruthie, pareho tayo…nagsusulputan sila na parang kabute sa gilid ng aking pisngi. Sabagay, ganyan naman talaga kapag “nagdadalaga” ang isang babae. Hirap maging teenager!

Hi Ruth! Well, if its red and swollen (which is what I get sometimes), I use a q-tip with drops of Visine on it and gently rub the q-tip in the bump. It helps the redness and makes it somehow smaller. Also, toothpaste (a little bit of it) left overnight in the bump seem to help. It reduces the size and dries the pimple faster.
